0:00 - The Nuggets had two 2nd round picks yesterday and they used them both! How do we feel about them actually selecting players instead of packaging those picks for draft day dealing?

17:09 - We got relevant breaking news during our show for once! The Charlotte Hornets traded LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Naz Reid and a metric tonne of picks. Minny's backcourt is now LaBelo and Anthony Edwards. Sheesh. What's Minnesota doing? Will Denver be able to beat them in the playoffs now?

32:39 - Chris MacFarland only has one number in his phone, and it's Joe Sakic's. Yesterday, the Avs sent Jack Drury to the Predators. Do we like the haul they got in return? Will we miss Drury?

0:00 - Vic has it on good authority that the PGA Tour will return to Denver as soon as 2028. GOOD. The BMW Championship at Castle Pines was epic. Denver absolutely deserves another tour event sooner rather than later.
After that, the NFL cancelled the supplemental draft, meaning Brendan Sorsby can't play in the NFL until the 2027 NFL Draft...if he gets drafted. Yesterday, Tyler Polumbus explained why the Sorsby Situation sets a weird precedent. This is a strange situation all around.

17:46 - Why didn't the Nuggets use their #26 pick in the NBA Draft yesterday? It has to factor into a larger plan. But...what's that plan?

31:55 - Coach Sanford made a Rockies prediction back in March and NAILED IT. Down to the DAY. So he's feeling himself now, and he made a second prediction. If he nails that one too? Burn him at the stake. He's a witch.

0:00 - The Trailblazers just hired former Timberwolves/Nuggets assistant coach Micah Nori as their next head coach. But they signed him to a 1-year deal. That's a pretty unconventional way of doing business, Portland. 

15:00 - The Nuggets flipped their 26th overall pick in the draft last night for more draft picks. Vic has a feeling that they're loading up on assets to include in a trade package. They'll shed salary with the trade, then announce a deal with Peyton Watson. 

33:39 - Oh, by the way...Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the US Men's National Soccer Team, is a Broncos fan? The Broncos gifted him a custom jersey with his name on it.
Oh, by the way...the NHL wants to expand to Houston or Austin. Would hockey work in either of those cities?
Oh, by the way...look for the PGA Tour to return to Denver as soon as 2028.

0:00 - Yesterday, with the 26th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Nuggets selected...no one. They traded their selection to the San Antonio Spurs for No. 35 and two future second round picks. What's the plan here? This has to mean another big move is coming, right?

15:28 - Lots of Nuggets fans are bummed that the team didn't use their 26th overall pick to select anyone. But Moser says, fear not! The NBA draft is such a crapshoot. It's not like the 26th pick is a lock to be a future Hall of Famer.
After that, the NFL has cancelled the Supplemental Draft. Now Brendan Sorsby can't play college football this year, and can't be drafted into the NFL til 2027. He also can't sign as a free agent until he's gone through a full draft cycle. Get ready to learn CFL, buddy. The NFL is really trying to make an example of him, and it sets a dangerous precedent.

34:00 - The Buffalo Sabres traded Bowen Byram (Avs legend) to the Chicago Blackhawks and got an impressive haul for him! We didn't realize he carried that much value on the market.

0:00 - There are about 1,000 different moves the Nuggets could make during the NBA Draft tonight, and we could see any of them happening. Let's bring in a certified knower of Nuggets ball: Adam Mares of DNVR Nuggets/the All City NBA podcast. What does he think the Nuggets will do tonight? What do the Nuggets need to do this offseason to maximize the roster and get Jokic another ring?

20:28 - Why do people feel like the Nuggets aren't contenders anymore? They won more games than the eventual champion New York Knickerbockers. They still have a stacked roster. And yet, lots of Nuggets fans feel like the Jokic Window has been slammed shut for good.

34:43 - Miami is one of those teams that's always in the mix. They haven't won since LeBron was there, but man, they're always RIGHT THERE. Erik Spoelstra is a wizard. Now, they get to pair Giannis with Bam. That'll be fun to see.

0:00 - Giannis is finally done dropping hints of wanting to leave or not wanting to leave or wanting to leave or not wanting to leave Milwaukee. He's taking his talents to South Beach. The Miami Heat are such a desireable destination for a bunch of different reasons. Always will be. It's hard to compete with that. 

14:24 - Yesterday, Messi scored 2 more goals in the World Cup. And he missed a PK! He could've had back-to-back World Cup hat tricks! Team USA is off to a really strong start this Cup. They probably won't win the whole thing. That's still a very tall order. But if they win their first game of the knockout round, we'll be satisfied.

32:09 - Oh, by the way...Benny Montgomery, who the Rockies selected 8th overall in the 2021 MLB Draft, announced his retirement from professional baseball at the age of 23.
Oh, by the way...the PGA announced a completely revamped format starting in 2028. There will be 2 different tours happening at the same time with a relegation system in place. 
Oh, by the way...someone had to put a sticker over the word "Gillette" on every single seat in Gillette Stadium. Over 60,000 stickers placed on over 60,000 stadium seats because of FIFA's sponsorship rules.

0:00 - The Milwaukee Bucks finally traded Giannis to the Heat for a HUGE haul. None of these whispers from Shams. It finally happened. What's the temperature in Milwaukee this morning? How do Bucks fans feel about Giannis? Is it similar to the way Nuggets fans felt when Melo went to the Knickerbockers?

15:22 - The NBA CBA has all these teams in Shedding Mode. How do we offload contracts and stay under the aprons, taxes, etc.?
The Rockies Rockie'd for 8 straight innings, then walked off the Red Sox on a TRIPLE in the bottom of the 9th. Say what you will about this squad, but they're sure fun to watch.

33:10 - It takes a lot of different factors to win in the NFL year after year. Some of those factors are in your control. Most aren't. Even if the Broncos "run it back," there's no guarantee they'll win 14 games and make the AFC Championship again.

0:00 - It's Year 4 of Deion Sanders at CU. There HAVE to be expectations that go beyond selling merch and getting clicks. They have to WIN ballgames and make a run at a Big 12 title. Period. Enough is enough.

15:25 - Brett was surprised by 2 groups of fans this weekend: Australian soccer fans beefing with Americans on Twitter (hold this L, Australia), and Golf fans who actively booed/rooted against Wyndham Clark at the US Open. That was pretty unusual for a golf crowd.

31:47 - The NBA Draft is tomorrow. Will the Nuggets partake in any trade trickery?
After that, let's run through some of the big NHL/NBA headlines from the weekend.

0:00 - The NBA Draft is tomorrow. Vic says it will be a very important day for the Nuggets. What they do, or don't do, will speak volumes about their offseason plans/overall vision for the team.

15:57 - Vic has a dog-related incident yesterday and he PROMISED the Queen of Chicken he wouldn't talk about it on air today. And, yet...here he is bringing it up. How did Vic clash with a good boi yesterday?
Shams is reporting now that Giannis WILL be traded before the NBA Draft tomorrow. Where will he end up?

29:49 - Oh, by the way...the Amateurs did well at the US Open! That's a TOUGH course there at Shinnecock. If Vic, Moser, and Brett golfed in a scramble and you only took their best scores, how low could they score on that course?
Oh, by the way...Cape Verde played to another draw in the World Cup. The little engine that could is still rolling, baby!
Oh, by the way...Sean Keeler wrote an article about the history of CU football. It existed before Deion, and it'll exist after he leaves. And, oh by the way, who did Keeler interview for this article? Darian Hagan, the starting QB for CU's only national championship team

0:00 - USA beat Australia in the World Cup over the weekend, and the reaction online from Australians was...something. Are we beefin' with the land down under now? 
Denver's finest and Friend of the Program Wyndham Clark won the US Open in front of a HOSTILE crowd at Shinnecock. Brett didn't realize there was so much hate for Clark! Good on him for persevering and winning his 2nd US Open. 

(The song I used in the show open was "The Sound of Silence." Hello darkness, my old friend. Today marks the beginning of the end.)

16:46 - Vic suffered golf embarrassment of the highest order over the weekend. And maybe...just maybe...we should give more grace to athletes who choke in big moments.

34:06 - Mike Sanford NAILED his Rockies 30 wins prediction. He predicted it DOWN TO THE DAY. Unreal. They won their 30th game on Saturday against the Pirates and MAN that was a strange finish.
